Electrocution by definition is death from being shocked.
And yes, I recommended another Dell because why judge every Dell by your one experience? I've had plenty of dodgy Macbook experiences but I still recommend them.

... my Dell regularly shocks me ...
Shut the fuck up. I bet you're lying your ass off. Computers are designed not to shock people. This is why I'm starting to steer towards enterprise as opposed to consumer market: making products for regular folks just isn't worth it because of little lying bitches like you.

Whoa there calm down he's probably just over-exaggerating some small problem. We get the point.

It's a small problem in the grand scheme of things, but the battery contacts are exposed and they do arc into me, and it is painful.
Am I suing? hahahah, fuck no. That shit is funny as hell more than anything, I don't like dozing off to a movie in bed with the laptop...shifting a leg, then getting woke the fuck up.

I'm not lying, the battery contacts are exposed and the circuits takes a shine to me here and there. If I had a camcorder I'd record it arcing into shit. Sometimes the shit it arcs into is me. It's an Inspiron 600m, I bought it $550, the fuck you want?
Also: yes the M1330 is okay, and if you get it refurb/on-sale the dedicated graphics model is respectable, but bleurgh. Dell's build-quality makes me sick to my stomach.
